Help Identifying Thai / Oriental Gamefowl Type for Future Breeding Consistency

[GTR]

Hello,
I’m looking for help identifying the general type or strain of this rooster so I can better understand what to look for moving forward.

He was hatched from eggs given to me as “Thai Game Fowl,” but the original owner did not have detailed background information on the line except he was gifted birds many years ago that where "Thai Game Fowl" and hes kept them since.

He is approximately 8 months old, stands about 24 inches at the top of the head in a normal stance, and weighs probably about 6–7 pounds. Structurally, he has a tall upright carriage, long legs, tight feathering, and a lean, athletic build.

He was hatched alongside:

• Two hens with similar white/gold coloration
• Two black hens
• Two brown/spotted hens

Temperament-wise, he is calm with people. Within the flock, he typically avoids confrontation at first, but if repeatedly challenged he responds assertively. I have since separated him with his hens to prevent injury.

I’m trying to determine whether he aligns more with a specific Thai strain, a Northern/Southeast Asian type, or if he appears to be a mixed Oriental gamefowl.

My goal is to identify his structural type so I can seek similar birds in the future.

Any structural or regional insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!

As far as I know there's no specific strain of Thai Gamefowl.
He's pretty though.
